Subject: [Clay-talk] International Workshop on clay minerals Feb 2017 in
Greifswald, Germany
Message-ID:
Dear Colleagues of Clay,
The following workshop may be of interest to you, your students, or
colleagues. If interested register early, we have only 15 spots to fill.
Feb 20 to 24, 2017 the *7th international DTTG workshop on ?Qualitative and
quantitative analysis of clays and clay minerals?* will take place at the
University of Greifswald. The workshop focuses on the needs of graduate
students in the field of clay science. The workshop is also open for
scientists and people working in industry who are interested in clay
science. Content of the workshop, taught completely in English, will
include topical lectures on theory as well as practical laboratory
exercises. Clay scientists from Germany and Switzerland (listed below)
will cover the most important analytical tools needed to study clay
minerals. This year one of the days is focused solely on electron
microscopy and one day on Rietveld modeling of XRD patterns. The other days
will cover a number of other methods/topics such as FTIR, CEC, STA,
chemistry of clay minerals, stable and radiogenic isotopes, and pore
investigations.
*The number of participants is limited to 15.* Therefore you are asked to
submit your application by e-mail to Grathoff at uni-greifswald.de with a
short description of your field of work, status (student etc.) together

Subject: [Clay-talk] Job opening for clay mineralogist at the Illinois State
Geological Survey
Message-ID:
Hi friends of clay,
I am not sure if you have heard there is an opening for a clay mineralogist
at the Illinois State Geological Survey. The ISGS has had such a rich
history of clay mineralogists starting with one of the founding fathers of
the clay minerals society and clay mineralogy in the US, Ralph Grim. After
Grim were Art White, William Bradley, Herb Glas, Dewey Moore, and Randy
Hughes to name a few.
If this sounds interesting to you or one of your students, you can find the
announcement at:
http://www.isgs.illinois.edu/node/30787
The closing date for applications is October 14th, so apply quickly!!!?
?
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
?Greetings from Greifswald, Germany,
Georg?
